President Karzai has moved the elections from June to September due to the security worries created by fighting. Personally, I have my doubts that three months is going to change things much for the better. After all, the fighting has been going on for over two years, and we've already been told to expect it to go on for years. (Which some of us expected without being told to.)
The same problem exists in Iraq. I don't think a summer switch-over is going to put a huge damper on the violence there. Too many people don't seem to be all that satisfied with the proposed interim government. Security issues are going to be a big concern for elections there.
Hell, they might be a big concern for elections here at the rate we're going.
Italy, on the other hand, may be expected to hold their June elections as scheduled. They look like a possible remake of the Spanish elections.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
